[vtkusers] Bug in vtkTIFFReader reading multi-paged tiff file

[Maarten Beek]

Hi David,

Using VTK 6.0.0, sorry ;-)

Should I send you the tiff file so you can play with it?

Now I seem to have your attention:

- How do I display a multi-page tif? I don't seem to see the different images using a vtkImageSlice.

- What would be good values for the window and level parameters? I am using window = range[1]-range[0] and level = 0.5*(range[0]+range[1]) which works ok for this multi-page tif, but gets me nowhere when I try to display a drr.

Thanks - Maarten

Hi Maarten,

Which version of VTK are you using?  I believe that this bug has been
fixed in the master branch by a commits in the following topic merge:
http://vtk.org/gitweb?p=VTK.git;a=commitdiff;h=7e3d5270

It was not fixed in time for VTK 5.10, however.

  David
